Watercolor-Style Tattoo Techniques: Creating Art on Skin

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for joining this adventure. I hope that this course has helped you to clarify all your doubts, but, above all, to gain confidence to create your own watercolor style in the world of tattooing. I recommend that before your project you practice as much as necessary on a synthetic skin, this way you will achieve fluid movements so that your designs look natural. Now I would like to show you an example of how I would like to see your process and course project: Design and color Elaborate the design with which you will work! You can use inspiration from other designs to create your own, but don't be fooled into making a copy of another design. Once it's ready, add color using your watercolors.

The table and the lines Prepare your work table. Next, prepare your canvas, that is, your client's skin. Print the tattoo template and place it on the desired area. Once everything is ready and the client agrees with the position, start tattooing the first lines. The tattoo Apply the color to the tattoo creating a watercolor effect. Once you're done, clean and cover the tattoo. Share with your client the care they should take so that their tattoo heals properly and looks amazing even over time. Keep in mind that you can start putting your personal stamp from the tattoo design. What I showed you in the course is my way of working, but you can adapt it as you want to make your own process. When your project is finished, share it on the forum by clicking "Create your project", keep in mind that as a tattoo artist it is very important to show your work. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you've created, and I'll give you feedback as soon as possible. I ask you to be patient, since it may take me a while to answer you. While you wait, I invite you to see the project of the rest of your colleagues and give constructive opinions. Finally, remember that in the world of tattooing you must always advance with patience, discipline and humility. See you soon!”

Now that you saw my process and also did yours, I hope you will venture to propose your own watercolor style to the tattoo world. Before saying goodbye I want to give you some tips and keys so you don't forget. Take time to study the stain and practice it with watercolors, but also replicate the same stain with colored pencils.
